Earlier, in an exclusive conversation with Zoom, Adivi shed light on his career, journey and said, "I have always said I’m an effective actor and a good writer. The writing largely happened because I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t know how to audition, which is a special talent in itself, and something I believe… has nothing to do with actually performing in a film. I clearly realized that the writing has been in service of my career as an actor."
